Argh!

Hey!

Hey. Hey, wait!

-What's this?

-Lardy cake.

-Lardy cake?

-I couldn't resist it. It reminds me of being a kid.

It's real lard in it, you know. You don't see it very often these days.

-There might be a reason for that, Rob!

-Never did me any harm.

Help, please! Please! Help me! Please!

Oh, my God, please help me!

-All right. Calm down.

-My God, my God!

OK, what happened? What happened, madam?

He attacked me! He attacked me!

-Whoa. OK, you're safe now!

-He attacked me.

-Good morning.

-Ooh, are those for us? How kind.

Although we do prefer chocolate ones, don't we?

Provisions for the meeting.

Great minds think alike. Biscotti. Delizioso.

Yum.

Hi.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Dr Vere.

Er...

How are you?

Yeah, I'm fine. How are you? Good weekend?

Yes, yes, fine.

I took the liberty of putting you in Dr Clay's room.

I thought after what happened that you might need a little bit of time.

Look, these things happen. All right? We deal with it.

OK. Friday night wasn't great. But the weekend was better.

I just kept busy.

And last night I slept right through! So, yeah...I'm fine.

Honestly.

Go on through.

-Don't touch me.

-OK.

WOMAN SOBS

You have to do something. Please!

We will, but first things first, let's get your injury looked at.

She's had a bang to the head and a very brief dizzy spell in the car.

OK, there's a small laceration,

there's a little bit of swelling. Did you get knocked unconscious?

OK. Why don't you follow me? We'll get you sorted.

Just pop yourself up on the bed.

All right. So, what's your name?

Melanie...Hutton.

OK, Melanie, and what happened?

OK, do you know where we are?

What year we're in?

2016.

OK. I'd like you to just touch my finger, if you can.

And then touch your nose.

And then touch my finger again.

That's really good.

All right, I'm going to clean that up for you. OK?

I'll be able to sort you a cup of tea in a minute.

HE SIGHS

HE SIGHS

Oh, sorry. Just to remind you about the staff meeting.

My contribution.

Oh. Well, I have not tried these before.

Daniel's a fan, I'm not really, though.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Sorry, sorry. Zara, I've got this patient with osteoarthritis.

So, I've prescribed ibuprofen.

She's been using it anyway, but there is a history of asthma, very mild.

So... There are so few alternatives, certainly in terms of NSAIDs,

so I was just wondering, would you...?

Is that for me?

Yeah? Melanie, do you want to go and take a seat in there for me?

Thank you.

-What do you think?

-Well, she's not concussed, it's shock.

-She's calmed down quite a bit now, so she's pretty lucid.

-Right.

The thing with shock is that you can't fake it.

-Something must have caused it.

-So she's not making it up?

No. I'd say not.

Could she be imagining it?

-That I can't say.

-OK, thanks.

Is the tea all right?

Good.

OK, Melanie, whenever you feel that it's OK,

do you want to tell me what happened?

You were assaulted?

Yeah.

And that's how you got your bump on the head?

No. I-I fell.

-I was trying to get away.

-OK.

Was that after the assault?

Of course.

It was 14 years ago.

And now he's back.

Was the original assault reported at the time?

Yes.

But the police were useless.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Give me a minute.

If it's OK with you,

I'd like to go and try and dig out the original case file.

Would the crime reference number help?

Yes, it would. A lot.

LB...

MH...

0907...

2002.

Thank you.

-Just do the exercises on the sheet and that should really help.

-OK.

You know what it is - muscle pain, the lower back.

And the best thing is to stretch those muscles, and these exercises

are the ones that really do that. Better than analgesics, in my opinion.

But I'm still happy to prescribe you some.

-But if you do find that you do, just come back.

-OK, thank you.

-OK.

Have a look at this.

Melanie Hutton was subjected

to a serious sexual assault November 2002.

Fought off her attacker. He was never caught.

Small wonder she freaked out when she saw him again.

According to this, she was deeply traumatised, which you can imagine.

Hang on.

Look at this.

She reported seeing her attacker in 2009 and 2013.

Was positive it was him. An investigation was launched.

-Both times, a false sighting.

-Hm.

Could be talking a wild goose chase.

Yeah.

-These look good.

-Oh, they look good.

Shall I...?

Oh, you've brought your own coffee?

Yeah, can't beat a macchiato.

-The latest craze.

-Something to dunk?

Thank you.

Thank you, Dr Carter.

Right, now can we get started?

As you can see, the first item on the agenda is to appoint

a clinical lead for diabetes.

It is a while since Dr Donoghue left.

And I would like someone to formally take the lead in her place.

Hear, hear!

If you look at the Type 2 figures in our area...

And nationally.

..and nationally, it's a cause for major concern.

So, are you putting your name forward?

It's a cause that I feel passionate about.

But in terms of taking the lead...

Sorry, sorry! I got a bit behind.

Couldn't make the time up, you know how it is.

In terms of taking the lead, I think it needs someone who

has the time to really make an impact. I'm not sure that

I could do this important matter the justice it deserves.

-And requires.

-And requires.

Right. What about you, Dr Carter?

Well, you know who I think would be really good at this.

-Jimmi.

-Yes, Jimmi would be great!

-A good fit.

-He's the one.

Very well. Dr Clay it is.

When is he due back?

-Ah. The very man.

-We'd like a word, please.

Sorry, everyone. You know how it goes.

We have been talking about Type 2 diabetes.

Dr Clay has been nominated as clinical lead.

Good call. How many amputations have we seen this year?

It is a modern-day plague.

-Sorry, do you mind if I just...?

-They are good.

I think they might be... Mm!

For goodness' sake... Just take a look at yourselves!

This is a sham.

You've got a room full of health-care professionals,

discussing diabetes, while they fill their faces

with about, what...? 24,500 calories' worth of sugar and fat!

I'd say this is where the problem starts!

It's ridiculous!

Still here?

Yeah.

Can I...?

Hand washing?

Yeah.

Why are you hiding it?

Well, I could see those police thinking,

"She's crying wolf again."

I didn't want to give you a reason

to think, "She's making it up."

I don't.

It got worse, you know, after.

But it's not so bad now.

I don't like green.

He wore green.

I do a bit of counting.

Yeah. I've...I've been there myself.

You have?

Seeing him again has really stressed me out.

-Yeah.

-They've got to get him.

Until he's caught, none of this will go away.

I know it's not logical, but that's how it is.

That sounds like a form of compulsion. I mean, we can help.

The only thing that will help is getting him locked up.

I'm sure they'll get him.

He knows I saw him. He'll have run away.

Why didn't I stay and get him arrested?

-Leave it to the police.

-I've tried that.

Look, you can't let someone do this to you.

You have to stand up to it. To them.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Maybe that's it.

Maybe I do.

Now, can I ask you all to take your receipts to the accountant

as soon as possible?

Um...I think that concludes the business of the day.

However...

Dr Haskey makes a very valid point.

It is our responsibility to take the lead on the matter of diet.

So...

out of sight...out of mind.

Mrs T! Those cost me a fiver!

It is time for us to realise that we are all role models.

Role models? Patients don't care what we eat.

In fact, they'd probably rather we ate that stuff

because at least it means we're human.

OK. So, a man who fits your description has been linked with

a historic crime in this area. We just want to have a little chat

and try and eliminate you from our enquiries.

Fine.

OK. Let's start with - when did you first come into the country?

As a kid. We went up the Tower of London.

To work.

The Border Agency will give us the information,

but it's easier if it comes from you.

In 2001 on a six-month visa.

Then I went home, came back after the borders opened up,

went home again.

But actually these days I call this place home.

Got a partner? Any family here?

No such luck.

I'm... I'm alone.

I know this is a very long time ago,

but is there any chance that you can remember where you were

on November 9th, 2002?

Pff!

You know, actually I can. I was in Krakow.

-You heard of it?

-Yeah, course.

It's famous for Auschwitz, unfortunately.

-My great-aunt died there as a baby.

-Sorry to hear that.

Her sister, my grandmother, survived.

Made it to the grand old age of 68.

And her funeral was on November 10th, 2002.

It's a big day for us. That's why I remember.

Why did you pursue a woman out of the shop today?

She dropped her purse. I wanted to give it back.

What happened exactly?

I was stacking shelves. Suddenly she went crazy, started shouting.

Threw her stuff on the ground and ran out.

Why didn't you hand it in?

At first I wanted to give it back to her.

I figured she'd come back in after she'd calmed down.

I would have liked to do that. You know, she...

She looked kind of nice.

OK. Where's the purse now?

My shift starts soon. My boss isn't the caring, sharing type. So...

I understand. If you can give us some proof of your address,

then we will leave it there.

Thank you.

Ah, Zara. Look, I'm sorry about asking for your advice this morning.

I know it's something we've spoken about in the past.

I don't want you to think I haven't taken it onboard. I have.

It's just been one of those mornings,

where one simple case raises more questions,

and as soon as you consider those, you realise how many options there are.

I just wanted to say... PHONE BEEPS

..needed you to know that...

It's Joe's school. Sorry.

Hello?

Yes.

Oh, right.

No, I can't see that being too much of a problem.

Oh, I'd keep those out of sight if I were you.

-Haven't you heard?

-Heard what?

-Mrs Tembe's confiscated our snacks!

-She can't do that.

-I've a good mind to raid her office, trust me.

What are you supposed to dunk in your tea? A carrot?

I suppose you are what you eat. I'm a biscuit, apparently.

A little bit of what you fancy does you good.

Well, keep them safe. I'm just warning you.

All right?

What?

What have you done?

Me? Oh, typical.

You just assume that it's me that's in the wrong, do you?

OK. What wrong is this, then?

Sid.

I may have possibly been just a little bit dismissive.

-Not that again?

-But... Oh!

It's probably just what he needs right now, is to...

Oh, thank you. I was hoping for a few words of support.

I imagine that's exactly what Sid's thinking.

CLASSICAL MUSIC

SHE HYPERVENTILATES

Sorry.

It's no problem. It's...

What I was trying to say before was...a bit difficult. You know.

Of course it is.

Your first death in primary care.

Your first.

I remember mine,

and I remember exactly how I felt.

Oesophageal varices,

alcohol induced.

A man...in his 40s.

Wife, young children.

And he bled out in the family kitchen...

all over the limestone tiles.

And I felt...

helpless.

And ashamed, actually, that...

I couldn't save him.

Wow.

But then you realise...

..that everyone goes through this sooner or later.

And then they do exactly what you have to do now.

-Which is?

-Back yourself.

Be confident in front of your patients,

even if you don't feel it. You will, in time.

For now it's just a case of fake it until you can make it.

Head up, plaster on that smile and keep going!

There really is no other way.

Thanks.

That means a lot, actually.

Yeah. I'm chasing up an enquiry I made earlier.

Marek Slaski.

Yeah, that's the one.

He was, was he?

OK. No, that's good for now. Thanks a lot. Thank you.

Border Control say that he was in the country

at the time of the original assault.

And they've got him on record for working without a permit.

-Hm. So, no funeral in Krakow?

-No.

-Pull him in?

-Yep.

No.

CLASSICAL MUSIC

Hey! You!

What did you tell them about me? The police! I gave them your purse!

You took my life and you ruined it!

Don't you walk away from me!

Look at me! Look at me!

Face me!

SIRENS

Ow!

Police! Drop the knife!

She went for me! I was just trying to help her!

Stay still! Don't move.

Marek Slaski, I'm arresting you on suspicion of assault.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you don't mention

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence...

-7851 to control.

-'Receiving. Over.'

-I need an ambulance immediately.

What's this?

Knowledge is power.

I want our patients to know

just how much sugar they are putting into their bodies.

It's amazing, how ignorant people actually are.

It really is.

That's wrong. Cos I've got the same.

You've got too much sugar there! Cos this is actually healthy.

It's mostly mineral water.

There are ten spoons of sugar in each bottle.

No!

Are you really surprised by that, Karen? I mean, it tastes sweet.

You can taste the sugar.

Which is why I usually go for pure fruit juice.

-One of my five a day.

-That's why I got the blueberry muffin.

Pure juice. Ten spoons of sugar.

What?

MRS TEMBE LAUGHS

'So, you all right, then?'

Yeah, better than I was.

Especially now I've realised that last week needs dealing with properly.

Hm. Amen to that.

So I'm going to Mexico.

Last-minute deal. I asked Mrs Tembe and she said yeah.

Give me a few days to get some distance on it.

That's really good, Sid.

Just remember all of us when you're sat on a beach, yeah?

Yeah. I'll try.

Luckily for you, I have a pal in the fraud squad

who's given you a very good alibi for November 9th, 2002.

But you weren't in Krakow, were you?

You were being interviewed by Revenue & Customs. Why didn't you tell us?

It was the farmer being investigated for tax evasion. Not you.

At the time, all the fruit pickers, we thought we would get deported.

It was just like "one false move and you're out".

Hm. If there's a next time, and I really hope that there isn't,

you make a point of telling us the truth, yes?

-Yes. I'm sorry.

-And as for today,

we have witnesses who can confirm that you were the victim.

So you're free to go.

Keep the dressing on for at least 24 hours.

Go and see your own GP if the swelling doesn't go down

or if there are any signs of infection.

This is the number for Victim Support.

If you feel the need, you call them.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry.

You're struggling, aren't you?

Yeah.

-Looking for danger all the time?

-I always will be.

That has to change.

I've tried. Believe me.

You can't do this on your own.

I think, for a start, joining a group who've had

a similar experience, that'll make a real difference.

I've never wanted to talk about it with anyone. Or share.

Burying it hasn't worked, has it? I mean, let's face it.

I know.

There's counselling. CBT.

I so wanted it to be him today.

The horrible thing is that he's...

He's still out there.

You have to let it go, move on. Start again.

And remember, you're not alone this time.

There are people here to help.

It's time to take your life back, Melanie.

Just a little one.

Mmm.

Oh, what is that?

Mrs Tembe.

Apparently, we're not allowed biscuits any more.

So, we've finally been invaded by the nanny state!

-And here comes Nanny!

-No, it is quite interesting, actually.

Have you any idea how much sugar is in a carton of apple juice?

-I'm a doctor. Of course I have!

-What about a pint of beer?

Yes, I know that too. And it's lots.

Lots and lots of delicious sugary calories.

And yet, I choose to drink and enjoy it.

Because that's my choice!

My choice, not yours.

This from a man who stormed out of a meeting

because there were too many snacks on offer.

Talk about having your cake and eating it.

It's not a contradiction.

You know what, I'm going to defend my right to eat what I want...

when I want it.

We will see.

I am imposing a sugar ban

on the whole surgery.

There will be no croissants...

no biscuits...

and no sweets.

This is going to be a practice

that practises what it preaches!

Is there something wrong with the heart?

Let's take one step at a time.

You must have some idea or you wouldn't be worried.

Are you accusing me of something?

No, I just want to find out what happened.

If there's a genuine fear of coming out in the open

and acknowledging there may be bad blood...

Now we're back in the Dark Ages.

What's your name?

Nadiya. I'm pregnant.
